Facial Symmetry Surgery
|
Question: our local newspaper ran an article awhile back about symettrical facial
features and how that, apart from facial features, actually
unconsciously contributes to how we perceive beauty (here, even
differences of less than a millimetre matter).
I look okay face-on. but i've come to notice that my left side looks
less feminine that my right. on a bad day, from my left I look like a
male version of myself in eye-liner and lipstick.
any of you face (excuse the pun) this? any tips ?
Answer: I was extremely concerned about facial symmetry after my jaw surgery and
when I had my check-up with my oral-maxilofacial (spelling?) surgeon he said
nobody is perfectly symmetrical. He said that I was "pretty symmetrical"
although I can definitely see things that are not symmetrical on my face.
For instance, my left eye has a visible fold and therefore it appears larger
than my right eye, one brow is shaped slightly different than the other,
too.
This is a person who's pretty much obsessed with symmetry talking. :) When
I was a child building houses with Lego I'd build a perfect symmetrical
house *every time*, with a center hall-way and rooms in mirrored image on
each side! On occasionally I enjoy asymmetrical designs on clothing and
such, but it has to be done intentionally. I'd check a garment I bought
closely and if the seam/pocket position/plaid/whatever is not matched
perfectly (and I mean perfectly) I consider it defective.
I bought some twill pants from BR last week and I knew there was something
wrong. They just don't look symmetrical to me. And guess what was wrong
(besides that I was being really critical to the construction/seam and
such)? For the first time I realized one of my thighs is bigger than the
other! And therefore one pant leg has left more room.
I wish I could stop the obsession about symmetry.
